About the reverse osmosis system.

Prefilter
—
Water from the cold supply pipe
enters the Reverse Osmosis assembly and is
directed to the prefilter cartridge.
NOTE:
Before
going to the prefilter, supply water first passes
through the electronic box to measure TDS.
The prefilter is a replaceable sediment cartridge
with activated carbon in its composition. The
cartridge removes sand, silt, dirt, other sediments
and up to 2.0 ppm of chlorine from the feed
water.
CHLORINE DESTROYS THE REVERSE OSMOSIS
MEMBRANE.
Filtered, clean, chlorine-free water
flows from the prefilter to the Reverse Osmosis
membrane cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
See prefilter in
the
Care and Cleaning
section.
Product Water Storage—
The storage area
holds up to 1.9 gallons of product water. The
flexible bladder keeps water pressurized for fast
flow to the faucet when drinking water is
needed.
Check Valve—
A check valve is built into the
bottom end of the Reverse Osmosis housing.
The check valve prevents a backward flow of
product water from the storage area. A backward
flow could cause rupture of the Reverse Osmosis
membrane.
Shutoff Assembly—
To conserve water, the
drinking water system has an automatic shutoff.
When the storage tank has filled to capacity and
the drinking water faucet is closed, pressure
closes the shutoff. Water flow to the Reverse
Osmosis housing is shut off until drinking water
is used again, and pressure drops in the Reverse
Osmosis system.
